The four winners receive cash prizes and are eligible to participate in Filmaka's Final Competition to win a chance to make a fully-financed feature film.

"One of the most eclectic slates I've seen on Filmaka made this an exceedingly hard decision. From a very simple but powerful performance-based concept to a sprawling, futuristic informercial, to some highly non linear and personal stories about grief. It made our job as judges exceedingly difficult, which I don't appreciate, but on the other hand it's a great sign of the breadth of talent emerging all over the world. When I weigh the pros and cons - my desire to watch the season finale of Legion vs the future of cinema- I suppose it was worth it. Congratulations to everyone, even the people I didn't vote for, they all did great work."
